If you would like to get a preview of how this could work, check
out the "press-release" project from CVS. There is a meaningless
example press release there, just to demonstrate the technology.
This approach solves several problems (and probably creates many
more):
1) Press releases are written in XML, using a tiny custom DTD.
2) All translatible strings are exposed in the XML, so the familiar
.PO/.POT approach will work for the translation team.
3) Document building uses the stock xmlto RPM package. The DTD and
generated XSL-FO is simple enough that passivetex appears to have
no trouble understanding it.
Let me know what you think. Here on the list, of course.
Cheers
